For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking. If you don't have a pizza stone, a baking sheet works just as well. Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs can be added before baking for an herbaceous note.
Experience a delightful symphony of flavors with this Pear and Prosciutto Pizza. The sweetness of ripe pears beautifully complements the salty prosciutto and rich cheeses, creating a gourmet-style pizza that is both sophisticated and satisfying.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the garlic in a small square of aluminum foil. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over the garlic. Wrap foil around garlic to seal. (5 minutes)
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven until soft, about 20 minutes. Smash roasted cloves with a fork. (25 minutes)
Place the pears in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil; toss to coat. Arrange pear slices on a baking sheet. (5 minutes)
Bake in hot oven until soft, 10 to 15 minutes. (15 minutes)
Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Preheat a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. (5 minutes)
Lightly dust a flat surface with flour. Roll the prepared pizza crust dough out onto the prepared surface. Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal. Lay the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the mashed garlic onto the dough; top with the Swiss cheese. Arrange the pears, prosciutto, and mozzarella cheese onto the pizza. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the edges of the crust with the 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. (20 minutes)
Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is melted and crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. (20 minutes)
